pretty effective for sound reaction. pretty easy to reprogram coming from someone who's never programmed a microcontroller. there is a bit of underscan so not necessarily good mixing with other video sources. overall i really like it

i've been waiting a long time too but am glad LZX is cranking out other basics (my VWG just shipped from AH^^). patience is the game. if you want to do some video electronics kitting there's also the arduino video shield

So I been playing around with my Bitvision 1.2 kit that i built the other day and I think it stopped working after i tried to change some colors on the palette. Or maybe it decided to not work because of my bad soldering?!? lol

Anyways I was having trouble getting AVR studio recognizing my programmer for the longest time. Eventually moved to an older WIN 7 with USB 2.0 laptop and I was able to get the USBTiny Drivers to work by using the libusb-win32(the latest i think). The computer recognized the Pocket AVR Programmer

now but AVR studio 5 still didnt. So I ended up following this tutorial

Using a USBTiny Programmer with Atmel Studio
where I had to download AVRdude and set up an external Device. Im still not sure how to “build” as I have pressed f7 and nothing happens but, when I loaded up the external device, I noticed that the LEDs on the Bitvision were not on anymore. When I plugged it into the CRT no more video.

When I downloaded it it was titled “1.0” so maybe I just need the 1.2 version and It will work again? Or maybe I just suck at soldering and it decided to stop working? Everytime I try to load the new code though, the two LEDs Blink, but thats all I can get from it now. HAAALP!
